Water Shortage Worsens In Bengaluru: Parts Of City To See Supply Cuts On Feb 27-28

Due to rain deficit and depleting water levels, Bengaluru is grappling with a severe water shortage this year, just months before the peak summer season. This crisis has compelled many residents to ration their water usage and pay nearly double the usual price to meet their daily needs. Adding to the woes, water supply will be disrupted in parts of Bengaluru from 6 AM on February 27 to 6 AM on February 28. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) announced that the water supply will be interrupted due to emergency maintenance works and the installation of Unaccounted For Water (UFW) bulk flow meters.

The 24-hour water supply disruption will affect areas including Cauvery 4th Stage 2nd Phase, such as 4th Block Nandini Layout, BHEL Layout, Nandini Layout, Srinivasa Nagar, Jaimaruthi Nagar, and Badavane, among others. Similarly, water supply will be affected in Bengaluru North, including Dasarahalli zone and RR Nagar Zone, as well as 14 BBMP wards.

Other areas to be impacted include A Narayanapura, Udaya Nagar, Andhra Colony, VSR Layout, Indira Gandhi Street, Jyothi Nagara, Dargamahall, Sakamma Layout, Vignana Nagar under Vignana Nagar Service Station, and areas like Akshaynagar, MEG Layout, Ramesh Nagar, Veerbhadra Nagar, and Shiva Shakti Colony under Jagadish Nagar Service Station.

Furthermore, water supply will be disrupted in Nallur Puram, Ramesh Nagar, Reddy Palya, Vibhuthipura, Annasandra Palya, and LBS Nagar under BWSSB's Doddanekundi and Marathalli Service Station.

In response to these disruptions, the BWSSB has advised residents to store sufficient water to manage during the interruption.
